Entrance to Moqui Cave. Exact location of image unknown.

A quirky roadside natural-history museum built inside a large Navajo sandstone cave five miles north of Kanab on US-89. Run by the same local family since 1951, it packs in dinosaur tracks, one of the largest fluorescent mineral displays in the U.S., Native American artifacts, and memorabilia from its past life as a dance hall and speakeasy-style tavern.

Visitor tip: It pairs perfectly with the Moqui Sand Caves a half-mile south and Belly of the Dragon up the road — all three make an easy US-89 morning from Kanab. The cave interior stays cool even in July.
